Greece: Update

The current state of affairs in Greece is such that it seems almost every week is a crucial week for the people of Greece and their ongoing crisis. Greece sits on a razor’s edge, perpetually teetering on the precipice of total societal collapse. The good news isn’t really good, it’s just less bad: Greece received the next tranche of the agreed upon international bailout funds this week, allowing the country to limp along in financial limbo, looking only towards what needs to be done to secure the next set of bailout funds, but not making the fundamental changes necessary to begin the national recovery to secure the future of Greece. All the while, the citizens increasingly lose hope and the chance for any type of better future.
